BEHIND THE SCENES: Illustration Continues for Owl's Flower 3!

In the midst of all our work elsewhere, we're still ticking away at Owl's Flower book 3 — admittedly a bit more assiduously now than we were able to in previous weeks and months. Being employed is great, but it does cut into passion project time. Thanks to everyone for their patience!

Ginger has been working with some new resources to ease her workload and make her art pop even more than it already did (which is really saying something, if you're familiar with her work!). She's been posting samples here and there on her own social media, and we've been sharing it on the Owl's Flower social... But in case you missed the first, here's a sneaky Dumb Baby scoping out the background of a scene:


We're both working away on this and other things behind the scenes. Ginger's got a new zine, A Pile of Good Things, coming up in the near future. 11th Doctor fans who are also writers and artists, take note: applications are open! Head over now and get your name in!

Meanwhile, Kara is working on... er... can't actually say at this point. Assuming all goes to plan, it will be worth the wait.

Keep an eye out for more book news, as well as our other work along the way!

BEHIND THE SCENES: New Projects from Our Creators!

We don't really stop, as you may have noticed.

Ginger's been working away on Owl's Flower 3 (title TBA) art, and the sketches are looking fantastic so far. We have some new characters to introduce to you before long — whether they're temporary or permanent is a bit of a spoiler, but we hope you'll look forward to it!

In the meantime, we've each got a project we've been working on that we'd really love you to have a look at.


Gokigen na Chou is a Digimon Adventure fanzine co-modded by Ginger, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the series. The zine has art from 44 artists (including Ginger), along with some cute merch like pins, bookmarks, and mini-prints. Plus, if at least 100 physical copies are sold, everyone who bought a physical copy will get a really cool enamel pin!


They're already halfway there, so this looks pretty darn doable. And, like, look at it. It's so good.

Orders are only open 'til August 19, so head over to the order page now and pick a bundle! (Also makes a great gift for the Digimon fan in your life... trust us, you know at least one.)

Speaking of anniversaries, it's the 50th anniversary of "Space Oddity"... and Chinbeard Books is celebrating with the release of Me and the Starman! Fans of the You & Who books will know the format well by now. In this new volume, fans unite to write essays about David Bowie's many works, from movies to music and beyond — in particular, how these works played a part in their lives. Kara has an essay on Labyrinth and her college years.

Better yet, proceeds from the book will fund Cancer Research U.K. Grab a copy here and get reading!

Thanks as always for following our projects both within and outside of Owl's Flower!
